First Presbyterian has new neighbors: 15 refugees from Afghanistan in one house. These individuals helped the U.S. military, and now it is our turn to help them. Jason Stell, Executive Director of the Staunton Music Festival, is coordinating the efforts, and he will give a short presentation at the beginning of our worship service on Sunday, May 8. The Missions & Outreach Committee is starting a drive to raise funds for the refugees on that date. It will continue through May. Thank you for your generosity to help these refugees!

The PW is working with CWS to provide Welcome Backpacks for asylum seekers and refugees. In the words of CWS, "Our vision is a world where everyone has food, a voice, and a safe place to call home."
